Chapter 329 Domino's Plea
Krakoa Island fell silent; all the non-flying mutants and Avengers were soaked to the bone.
Among those who unfortunately fell into the water, Nina Thurman, nicknamed "Domino," was the luckiest. A small boat used by children on Krakow Island happened to pass by, preventing her from struggling in the water for too long.
"Thanks to Lady Luck!"
"Domino," Nina said with a beaming smile, as she boarded the small boat and leisurely drifted on the still war-torn sea.
Various abilities and rays passing by her would inexplicably deviate from their course due to various coincidences, leaving her completely unharmed from beginning to end.
"I need to check if there are any wounded here," Nina Thurman muttered to herself. She felt that it would be too idealistic for the Avengers vs. X-Men battle to end without a single casualty.
The thought of saving the person had just crossed Nina's mind when she saw a butt floating not far from her.
She quickly swam over in her small boat, grabbed the buttocks that were sticking out of the water, and dragged them onto the boat with all her might.
Wearing a purple school swimsuit, with a scabbard on her back and a black belt around her waist, her long, dark purple hair was wet and clung to her body. Her features, a blend of heroic spirit and allure, were now closed.
The person rescued by "Domino" and brought aboard the ship was none other than Elizabeth Braddock, the mutant "Psylocke".
At this moment, Psylocke's eyes were closed and she was almost not breathing. "Domino" Nina leaned down to listen and found that her heartbeat was very weak, there was a bloody hole in her shoulder, and her face was as pale as paper.
"Goddess of Fortune, who will save 'Psylocke'?"
Domino shouted, but unfortunately the surrounding superheroes were all fighting their own battles and no one paid any attention to a severely wounded and dying mutant.
Fortunately, being a woman and worried about her friend's safety, "Domino" Nina's voice was high-pitched enough to stand out on the chaotic water.
Storm unleashed bolts of lightning from the sky, clashing with Quake. She listened intently and, amidst the rumbling thunder, heard Nina Domino's call.
Without a second thought, Storm Ororo quickly descended from the sky, searching everywhere for Nina's whereabouts.
The sea was full of ruins, and Nina Domino, sitting on a small boat, was conspicuous as she kept pressing on Psylocke's chest, trying to squeeze the seawater out of her body.
Aurora quickly flew to their side and looked down to see that Psylocke had almost half her shoulder missing, and she was unconscious. She quickly said:
"Quickly find the locksmith! He can cure Psylocke!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, Storm suddenly remembered that Connors had to pay an equal price to heal others, and she couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety.
On one side is her good friend and fellow mutant, and on the other is a promising "Omega-level" mutant and the woman she admires. Storm is torn between them.
"Domino," Nina didn't think too much. She quickly picked up "Psylocke" and asked urgently:
"Where's the locksmith? Take me to him!"
Ororo looked up at the sky. She only knew that she had left the Mysterious House, but she had no idea how to get back or where the Mysterious House was. She could only shake her head blankly.
"I didn't know it was a strange space. Maybe there's some way to get in?"
"Domino!" Nina paused, then stood up from the small boat and leaped onto the floating ruins beside her.
"I'll take it one step at a time and hope my luck continues to be good."
She chose to take a chance, since sitting and waiting to die was not an option. Even if she couldn't find Connors, she could find someone else who could heal Psylocke, even if it was just to temporarily alleviate her injuries.
Storm Ororo hovered above the water next to Nina, watching Domino carry Psylocke through the ruins with a complex expression.
Before they could take more than a few steps, their figures suddenly vanished from the spot, startling Ororo.
She flew into the sky and looked around, searching everywhere for Nina and Psylocke, but the vast ocean made it impossible to find them, until Connors' voice rang in her ears:
"No need to look anymore, 'Domino' has already broken into my secret house with 'Phantom Butterfly'."
Storm Ororo finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to ask Connors about Psylocke's injuries when Daisy, who had been left hanging in the sky for half a day, arrived with rolling shockwaves.
Left with no other choice, Ororo had to bite the bullet and fight. Because she was thinking about "Psylocke," she was inevitably hesitant in her attacks and was at a disadvantage for a while.
Inside the mysterious house, Connors watched as Nina Domino laid "Psylocke" flat on the carpet, performing chest compressions and artificial respiration. Sensing her anxiety, he asked:
"Didn't you ask me to heal 'Phantom Butterfly'? Why are you busy with your own affairs first?"
As he asked the question, Connors was secretly puzzled.
He did indeed open a passage into the Mysterious House from the outside, but he didn't place the entrance directly in front of Domino Nina.
According to his plan, Connors intended to wait until the "White Queen" finished sucking before personally taking Psylocke and Nina to the Mysterious House.
But whether it was because the other party's "luck" was too strong or some other deviation occurred, "Domino" Nina actually managed to barge in.
It wouldn't have been a big deal if he had come in, but the key issue was that Connors was currently being held in the mouth of "White Queen" Emma and didn't have time to pull away.
"Luckily, before Nina came in, 'The White Queen' and I switched places and didn't continue lying on the sofa—"
Connors quietly exhaled and thought to himself.
He was standing behind the bar in the Mysterious House, pretending to mix drinks, while "White Queen" Emma crouched down under the bar, not saying a word, only moving her head back and forth.
"You're right, I've heard about your healing abilities before. You even managed to heal Emma's severed hand instantly—"
"Domino," Nina pleaded.
"I know your healing abilities require you to pay the price with injuries equal to your own, but please, please, you must heal 'Psylocke'!"
Connors nodded, but didn't move away. He remained behind the bar, entering Emma's mouth from where "Domino" Nina couldn't see him.
Emma, the "White Queen," stiffened slightly. Although she couldn't see the "Psylocke's" specific situation, she could tell from Nina's tone how anxious she was.
Seeing Connors standing there unmoved, Emma, the "White Queen," couldn't help but strain her throat, wanting Connors to finish quickly so she could go and treat "Psylocke."
Domino Nina was extremely anxious, but what she didn't know was that Psylocke had quietly awakened. Although her eyes were not open, she, who also possessed telepathy, clearly knew what Connors, who was standing behind the bar, was doing.
